Our three lodges, Lelapa, Dithaba and Kopano comprise of 20 suites in total and give guests a choice to stay together as a group of family and friends, or to have a more private bush experience as a couple. Our staff know exactly how to make you feel welcome, comfortable and relaxed. If you curl up on your couch at home, that is what we encourage you to do with us at Madikwe Safari Lodge.
Lelapa Lodge: Lelapa which means family in the local dialect is exactly that. It has the spirit and comfort of being at a home and is the Lodge where we allow guests of all ages to stay.
Kopano Lodge: Kopano which means “small gathering” comprises only four suites with a beautiful common area offering an intermit and private experience.
Dithaba Lodge: Dithaba, meaning mountain in the local dialect, is located slightly higher up on the mountain and has incredible views over the open plans.
We have provided an easy reference table to make sure you make the best choice of Lodge for your stay with us and if you have any further questions please reach out to us (See CONTACT page) as the better informed you are about your stay with us the more you will get out of your safari.
